“Swappable batteries are typically smaller than fixed batteries. Swappable batteries are modular by design, usually around 1 to 1.5 kWh in capacity, and weigh about 10 to 12 kg. The smaller batteries result in lower weight of the E2W, and that yields better energy efficiency and greater range on the available charge. An E2W is designed to run with one or two such batteries, whereas vehicles such as e-rickshaws and e-autos can be fitted with two, three, or four such batteries, depending on their energy consumption and range requirement,” it said, adding that battery swapping was appropriate for all types of light EVs.
